Super easy, and strong whipping - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJlEQpcbM1I, I would recommend using a sewn nylon loop instead of rope though because rope will damage the fabric.
Make one, bounce in it and swing. Test it. If it holds up well then have them do some cool tie die, or camo dip die with their new hammocks. A easy and strong whipping is...
My favorite way is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJlEQpcbM1I, it's basically a modified sheet bend, I do recommend doing it with a sewn nylon webbing loop instead of rope so that u don't damage the...
Wow those look great , and that forest is buetiful.
I'm going to do something similar with an old kids 20* synthetic mummy bag. So thanks for the pictures guys.
Maybe try lying a bit less on a diagonal, some people are more comfortable straight. You'll get it I see it looks better in the last pic
I think you could just climb from suspension lines like a ladder, I'm also only 100 lbs and love to climb, I'm not sure about someone a bit bigger.
Dutchware is really good, you can purchase a bug net at Grand Trunk as well. I would go with a Skeeter Beeter Pro from Grand Trunk and a pair of Trunk Straps and some Caribeaners. Easy and mosquito...
I'm not a huge fan of ENO but their Double Nest would work fine. Personally I would get the Grand Trunk Double Parachute hammock, lightweight,pack-able,strong, and comfortable. It only weighs 28 oz...
Closed Cell Foam (CCF) pad are a cheap and good insulation. They can be found at Walmart for about $10, just slip it into your hammock and lay on top of it or put it in your sleeping bag.
Thnx for all the help guys. I've tried some different things and I sleep kinda with my head to the side with a small down pillows on the other side and it seems to be working. Hopefully I will be...
So I've been sleeping in a DIY bedsheet hammock, it's a bit short at about 5'5" but I'm only 5'3" so it works, the problem is I wake up with a stiff neck that's aching. Any ideas, I've used a small...

I plan on getting a CCF pad from Walmart. My sleeping bag is rated to 40 degrees which isn't great but it's what I got. The hammock I'm sleeping in now is about 5'9" so it's not big cause it's my bed...
I have looked at those but I really want to go a little cheaper☹️ I'm thinking I might DIY one with rip stop nylon, I'm 5' 3" and weigh a 100lbs so it doesn't have to be super strong
I am homeschooled and have A's I also have two jobs, but have to pay vet bills and care,food, etc. for a mini pig and two hedgehogs so that's why he is tight with letting me spend money. I will...
I recently stumbled upon hammock camping and soon realized I really wanted to try this. But my parents where and still are very weary, so I made a hammock from my bed sheet and some paracord, hung it...
I recently stumble upon a picture of an Grand trunk UL on Pinterest and read an article about them. I then realized that I really wanted to try this new form of camping, wich is my biggest hobby. My...
